Either you misread what i said or i miscommunicated. The exact similarity is in classifier action in the datapath. The bridge, as i suggested, could have had at least two features added to it in regards to learning to achieve what you wanted it to. But as pointed out the bridge - which is a victim of combining policy and mechanism in one spot - already has too many features. If we cleanly separate out those things, then i dont see why we need two bridge implementations. Ok, so here's a digression: I am uncomfortable with the fact i have to use ovs as the way to configure things in a 48 port Gige switch. In Linux we have netdevs; if you expose things as netdevs, for starters i can use standard tools to do things to them. But this is a side discussion I started with Justin - so you may have no pony in this race. cheers, jamal _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
